All these figure drops are great, but for international customers, I have to start picking and choosing or hoping I can get a few in one hit, because the cost of shipping for each pre-order virtually doubles the cost. It's frustrating, but it is what it is.

Super excited for this line to come out....I've just ordered 2 blue meanies.For me as far as the new price 39.99 with free shipping is super fair. Although I wish it was a tad more inexpensive even at the cost of removing the bone crunching aspect. I make bca customs on our bca page on Facebook (which you all should join) and there's always a couple of people trying to buy them for 10 15 dollars... and I'm like thise took me several hours to make!!.. the point is chell and fc ar making brand new l figures from scratch with licensed wrestlers and in sweet packaging. These arent my aren't customs haha.
As far as the international shipping crowd goes... that does terribly suck and I hope there is a way you guys can get them without paying for each single release... maybe they can do 2 packs going forward or release 2 or 3 at a time.... or maybe they can hold them in storage for you guys but that would be an extra expense for fc. I hope it works out in the end.

It's frustrating, but it is what it is. We really don't want to exclude anyone from being able to collect these, especially over something like shipping cost! I'm working with my business partner on this to see if we can figure out how to work in a similar 'pile of loot' option! Or at the very least, in the meantime -- if international customers want to reach out after they place their order and ask me to hold/combine with their future orders, that would be as simple as making a note on your order/account -- Then I could refund the difference in shipping? This is just spitballing, but point is I think we can figure something out! Also, HUGE THANKS to everyone who has pre-ordered and will be pre-ordering the Blue Meanie figure! |

That's a really good idea, if International buyers are gonna order the full set then coupling the pre orders into one order makes total sense. I hope that helps more get and enjoy the line! |

This is a fantastic idea. I couldn’t personally wait that long for mine to arrive lol, but I fully support any cause that saves on shipping costs for collectors outside the US. |

When is Meanie supposed to ship?

Approximately how long is the pre-order for Meanie going to last? And is there a limit to how many are being produced, or does it just depend on the number of pre-orders?

When is Meanie supposed to ship? Chella said this a couple of weeks ago on Instagram:  Jack from FC mentioned this on the 3 Points of Articulation Podcast in late December: - The Ultimo/Sonny 2-pack will be its own release sometime after that [Chella said on IG that they're hoping for February].  - If everything goes according to plan, they'll have at least two full series done and in collectors' hands for 2022. The screenshot of Chella’s reply from three weeks ago kind of ties in with the Meanie question, although that was meant for when Ultimo/Sonny might be listed for pre-order, not to ship. For all I know, that could have since changed. The latter statement would make me think half a year’s time, so maybe a late Spring/early Summer release for the bulk of Series 1 pre-orders? Just me speculating. I don’t really know how they’ll handle a staggered release schedule for BCWs. Approximately how long is the pre-order for Meanie going to last? And is there a limit to how many are being produced, or does it just depend on the number of pre-orders? -These figures are all going to be limited to 2000 pieces or less. Numbers-wise, that’s all we really know about them thus far. Big thanks to 3Lephant (Naptown Icon) for his post this past week. Obviously, Jack would be the one to answer these questions. If there’s anything he can share about the pre-orders at this time, I’m sure he’ll pop in and let us know. That’s totally not phrased in such a way as to guilt him into doing so. I would never.  Here’s what Jack said on the Chella Toys Podcast less than two weeks ago: -They plan to have as many available as possible. He won’t divulge numbers just yet, but will keep people updated when stock is running low. -If you pre-order in the first week, you’re more than guaranteed to get what you want. So that’s encouraging, and I think probably the right way of going about this. You wouldn’t want to scare anyone into ordering within the first 24 hours, nor should people think they have months and months to place a pre-order. I think a sufficient length of time would be two weeks; one month max. It goes without saying that any and all incentives should be exclusive to pre-orders, which I think is the case with the trading cards. |

I kinda wish they had a number on them to show they're limited to 1 of 2000.

I like the fact they feel like regular figures rather than being a "Limited Edition" that people may buy to flip. I like that the Nick Aldis Chella's have the "limited to 100" very small on the card rather than any big over the top stamp on it. I think if you look at the Jay Whites, the Exclusive logo is to big on the card for me, bearing in mind the cards aren't that big. |

Keep em simple clean and basic - like hasbros were |

Gotta admit I never thought there would be that much of a market for guys like Blue Meanie and Adam Bomb where they are headline announcements for new lines.

Was going to be a player on these but I see Major Pod is getting involved, won’t be long till Cardona ruins this line too. I have a rule to not buy into anything those guys are involved with and this will be no different. Wishing the company all the best with these.

(Aside from talking about them on their podcast) With the BCAs they have been assigned a discount code which is normally an indication they have their foot in the door. Just a personal preference for me, and not something I want to get involved with just for the potential negative impact that one group of people can have, I think eventually they will be involved or angle for BCAs for themselves, and the normal antics begin. Just not for me, but I hope the peeps that do get them enjoy them, I can certainly appreciate them and the efforts and signings all the same. |
